According to the man page, "mirror-locally" does the following: "When true, specifies that this yum repo is to be referenced directly via kickstarts and not mirrored locally on the cobbler server. Only http:// and ftp:// mirror urls are supported when using --mirror-locally=1."
I'm confused. This above seems to describe the exact opposite of what mirror-locally does in practice. That is, --mirror-locally=1 fetches all of the packages from the url provided and stores them on the cobbler server. I have had to set "--mirror-locally=0" to prevent cobbler from downloading everything in the mirrors I set up with mrepo. Having said that, looking at the source, it seems that the opposite is true if we are mirroring from RHN. In this case, mirror-locally must be set to "0" in order to fetch the packages. # rpm -q cobbler cobbler-1.2.4-1.el5 Chris _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
